Two, and three.

Level 37 now. 40k of 60kish needed for 38. Spent a great deal of time trying to get accross the Burning Steppes last night. I eventually made it but died several times in the process. Wulfa is working on her dragonscale quest. Dangermouse? makes me want to play an undead badly. But not badly enought to start over again. Ever since hitting level 35 when I look at my alts I think "I have to do those levels again?" and I suddenly have no wish to play anyone other than Dammerung. See below I really want to have a full set of Ancient(level 38-41 mail) gear at level 40. But no one is selling any of it with str. /sigh. I see lots of "of the whale" "of the eagle" but no "of the bear/boar/tiger/strength". I wish gear like this dropped a little more predictably... I'd offer to pay my guild mates to farm me this. I know I could build a full set of str mail, but I'm wanting a matching set to -start- my mail wearing career. Fishing is ...

I am level 40! Woot! There, I've finally used that word. So we did discuss our gold goals and alchemy and all that sort of good thing and Dammy decided that I didn't need to wait on him. His precise words were, "I want you to be my sugar-mama." Harrumph. I already am his sugar-mama. It took me about 5-10 minutes to ding 40 (can you imagine how hard it was sitting at 39 when I was that close?) and I had Bestial Wrath. /dance & smilies. Flew back into Orgrimmar, trained mail and all the other stuff, bought my wolfie, a pretty dire mount that I shall call Wulfie (absolutely no play/pun on my name intended. Not.). We fell in love at first sight. Moved on to the AH and bought myself pretty new armor for decent prices. I kept my agility-only 3 less than what I had with my +agility leathers. So I was pleased. Went out to play with my new toys and found myself in Tanaris. (I wandered over there from 1k Needles because Gadga-whatchamacallit has a flight poin...

Search "old-blind crippled dog story"... in google... and you can find us! I have decided that once I hit 40 I will start leaving my LFG flag turned on when I sign on with more than an hour to play. Just to start getting an idea of partying. Meg and "that guy" posted their key bindings. And I figured I would as well (Because I felt like it) : 1 = Lesser Healing Wave rank 2 2 = Lightning bolt rank 6 3 = Earth Shock Rank 4 4 = Lightning Shield Rank 4 5 = Flame SHock rank 3 6 = Chain Lighting Rank 1 The rest are mouse bound: Scroll up = MS totem rank 1 Scroll down = SoET rank 2 and Blood fury Scroll click = ST rank 3 Shift-Scroll up = Healing Wave rank 6 Shift-Scroll down = GhostWolf(yay for 2 talents and 1 sec cast times) Shift-Click = Grounding Totem I tend to only use totems if I'm low on hps/mana or I'm in for a long fight. Otherwise fights end too quickly to bother. LS does around 90-120 damage now and the extra 20 str doesn't change the duration of fi...

Oi! Its me Dammy again. I've been spending the last week picking up gnome-car-litter in the Shimmering flats. Lots of turtles,bugs,birds,lizards. An alliance warrior in his 44th season tried to take out one of the guards to the Tauren outpost in Thousand Needles. Myself and younger shaman saw him lead her into a dark canyon and we came with. The Tauren lady was very grateful for our healing and escort back. Maybe next time she won't wander off by herself every time a single guy comes along. Shortly afterwards I met a duo of hunters who were roughly 5 seasons under me. They were also on litter picking up patrol and together we cleared the race track of a bunch of animals and junk. That is until suddenly out of thin air daggers stabbed me in the back... as I tried to spin around and defend myself I noticed my friends were already dead..... and suddenly I was floating in the grey nether. I meandered back to my body and when I came to I was surrounded by a friendly mounted posse of...

Is this what being in a disfunctional raid is like? "You're getting to kill things more than me!" "No you are!" "I keep having to lead the newbies and don't get to do the cool stuff" " No *I* keep having to do that you get to spend all your time killing things!" "No I don't I have to work!" "Work free of newbies!" "Fine I'll just take the newbies and GO TO BED!" "FINE!" "I don't want to kill things anymore I think I'm going to cancel my account"QQQQ My brother didn't work yesterday(because he was on call or something last night), so he spent all day playing WoW. So Wulfa got to spend all day watching a baby while someone else was sitting in the living room playing games. So she was frustrated and envious by the time I got home. I was tired and fussy. After the standard get home/eat/cleanup, I started playing WoW(it was my turn). She was able to start playing as well ...

I'm still chillin' in Orgrimmar waiting for Dammy to catch up so we can ding 40 together. To be fair he is working hard leveling up alchemy and herbalism (he was inspired by Mrs. BBB) and also fishing to supply his alchemy needs. This requires a fair amount of time and time he doesn't have in abundance. So I'll be waiting for awhile. In the meantime what am I doing to help us reach 500 gold? I'm running Ragefire Chasm and Wailing Caverns. Over, and over, and over again to obtain greens for my warrior alt who is currently my banker (thanks to Og for that wonderful idea) and also has enchanting. Disenchant all items, sell them, and I come out golds richer than I was. But again, this requires me to run WC over, and over, and over again. I tell myself it's like a marathon and that we've done before. But then I remember at the end of a marathon you get a lovely massage. You get all the eatable goodies. You get to proudly stalk around 'cause you just completed...

Ideally this post will be about the following topics: 1) A short review of last year. 2) A declaration of some goals for this year 3) Shaman mounts? Hopefully I won't rabbit trail too much. 1) So I started this blog on 11-7-2007. I believe my stated goals at the time were to have a shaman blog and to fish or something like that. A ponytail got upset at being called icky and I suddenly had two hundred meeelion people visiting. I don't have a best post but my most commented on post was either that first one ... or the one a few days ago about party setup . I am now level 35. The highest I've ever been. And I've played on and off since 2006(feburary or so). As of today I"ve had 2,145 visitors total. Not sure if you guys are all unique or if I just have one persistant stalker. I had 89 posts last year(blogger counts my first 5 posts of this year as last year). And I managed to not miss a day posting. I think. Other than sunday which was this year anyways. Okay I'm...

I frequently laugh at myself. Even more so when I have the privilege of working at my grand institution of a bookstore. Sometimes I even get to have a laugh not directed at myself. So, all the interesting and funny-at least to me-things that happened at my bookstore over the weekend: #1. Customer has an order. I notice last name is Sweeney. I ask, "Do you get teased at all for your last name?" Blank look. "Sweeney Todd?" Still a blank look. "The demon barber of Seville?" At this point she's getting a worried look on her face. Having come this far I decided to risk one last query: "The new Johnny Depp movie?" Nope. Nothing. Note to self: don't ask about people's first/last name. Just don't. #2. I'm old. Not quite at the age that hobbits come of age but old enough to think, when a cute just-starting-college guy comes through my line, "Oh, what a cute kid." Yeah, kid . Bah. #3. Not everyone is as young as they look. I w...
